NEVER GIVE LEGITIMACY TO THE EXTREME FEW WHO WANT TO HURT THE OTHERS

There are always those with more extreme views within each community.

We should not focus on them as that will give them legitimacy and show as though they are the mainstream. 

We must always treat them as the minority and highlight the moderate majority. 

As an example, there are those in the west who like to equate Islam with terrorism because they choose to give legitimacy to groups like IS and AlQaeda who are the extreme minority as representing Islam intead of the majority 1.6 billion Muslims who are peace loving. 

In Malaysia, we must choose to highlight the best among us, the moderate majority from all ethnic groups and religious believes and never give legitimacy to the few who are peddling exclusive, extreme and hurtful views.

Peace.
